600,000 known 'getaways' at the southern 'border' this year. This year. One might assume they are highly selected subjects.

John Kirby from the National Security Council said the administration is 'monitoring' the traffic on the southern 'border.' Monitoring. It sounds like they are like neighborhood police who have moved from being law-enforcing interventionists to armed secretaries.

The Metropolitan Police in London were videotaped removing posters with pictures of hostages taken by Hamas. The posters were being removed from Cullimore Chemist in Edgware. The chemist’s CEO, Hassan Khan, recently retweeted posts branding Israel and the IDF “filthy animals” and encouraging Iran and Hezbollah to attack Israel.
What was the police’s excuse for removing the posters? They explained, “We do not wish to limit the rights of anyone to protest or to raise awareness of the plight of those kidnapped and the terrible impact on their families. But we do have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to stop issues escalating and to avoid any further increase in community tension.”--from Shapiro via Don

An interesting note:
"One of the reasons it is seemingly impossible to get any Palestinian leader to sign on the dotted line is the harsh fact that the Middle East is full of assassinated peacemakers. In 1979, Egypt's Anwar Sadat signed a peace deal with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, in the culmination of a process that had begun the previous year. In 1981, while reviewing the troops during the annual victory parade held in Cairo to celebrate Egypt's crossing of the Suez Canal, Sadat, and eleven others were killed by an Islamist militant in an attack that also wounded 28.
Assassinating leaders who reach out to the opposition isn’t just an Arab or Palestinian habit. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signed the Oslo Accords in 1993 and famously shook hands with Arafat on the White House lawn. He shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Arafat and Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres. And then, in 1995, a right-wing Israeli extremist who opposed the Oslo Accords killed Rabin.
In this Middle East conflict, if you try to reach out to the other side and find some form of coexistence, somebody on your side will accuse you of being a traitor and sellout and agent for the opposition and put a bullet in you."--Geraghty

This is a mutually-agreed-to death match. And they don't want interference or referees. But the right-wrong debate is now moot. One side has nuclear weapons and the other has a psychotic friend with them. The conflict itself is a threat to the world.

The essence of the problem is that the incompatible desires of both combatants supersede, in their minds, the very needs and existence of mankind.
